Entries now open for Scottish Junior Open 2026

Scottish Squash is delighted to confirm the return of the Scottish Junior Open for 2026, one of Europe’s leading junior squash tournaments and a key fixture on the international junior calendar.

Each December, Scotland welcomes more than 180 players from over 30 countries, bringing together some of the best young talent from Scotland and around the world. The tournament has a rich history of producing future stars, with former champions including Diego Elias, Georgia Adderley and Anahat Singh.

The Scottish Junior Open 2026 will take place over three days from 28–30 December 2026. The tournament is European Squash Silver sanctioned and will be hosted at Oriam, Scotland’s National Performance Centre at Heriot-Watt University, and Edinburgh Sports Club.

Edinburgh Sports Club returns as a host venue for 2026, bringing the tournament back to a club with a long and proud history with the Scottish Junior Open. Located in the heart of Edinburgh, the club provides an excellent setting for the event and will once again play an important role in welcoming young players from across the globe.
